Forevermore, Philippine Teleserye

This is top billed by Enrique Gil and Liza Soberana, the girl who played Daniel Padilla's girlfriend from Singapore in "Got to Believe in Magic." Such a pretty face this girl but she still has a lot to prove in her acting skills. This is one such good break though. She had us at her stint in G2B so it would be interesting to see her in a new series, her own at that. There's just something how she speaks though. Her Tagalog sounds odd at times. They also got the twins from "the Voice Philippines" in these series as they provide, or try to that is, the comic relief. 

After I watched the pilot episode, it does seem interesting. The thing is when I moved on to the second episode, I finally realized that it is exactly on the same vein as the G2B since they were made by the same people behind that. The main line is rich boy, poor girl from a close knit community. The community is a small group in the uplands in Benguet this time, compared to the circus family in G2B. The rich boy's backdrop is changed into a the father and the heir-seeking grandma from the mom and granddad in G2B. They just added a little twist to the mom role here. It's just funny that the demanding mom in G2B was played by Carmina Villaroel and the dad here is played by Zoren Legaspi, both real couples off-screen. 

Well, I'm into 3rd episode now so let's see how long I can hang on to this by-the-book predictable storyline. The only fun part here is Liza's lovable face and the unique Baguio setting. I am currently watching in the middle of winter and I can only guess if it is as cold as it looks there. Though I am sure it is colder here at less than 0 degrees Celsius. 

Brr..lunchtime.
